This is a lovely gem of a park in Hernando County, near Wickee-Wachee. Not too crowded, not too desolate with a delightful breeze coming in off the Gulf. There is a convenient food shack and plenty of shaded picnic tables. Tons of parking. Separate swimming area the is VERY child friendly (shallow). Separately you can launch kayaks or cast a line. Nice & clean!
While vacationing in Weeki Wachee, Florida, our family visited this place 3 days out of our 7-day stay. It was just a leisurely 15-minute drive. Get there early in the morning because of limited parking which is only $5 a day. Restrooms, a concession stand, covered picnic tables, charcoal grills, play area for the kids with slides and swings. Great water and a place to fish. Lots of room for sunbathing. This is our 4th year going and always a super time.
Nice small little beach. $5 entry. Cute playground. Nice little cafe with some good eats! Calm warm water. Very shallow though so the older kids might not like it. No waves. Good for snorkeling. Bring a raft and float around.
While swimming off the beach we were suddenly surrounded by a pod of about a dozen dolphins who were playing and having fun with themselves and us! It was surreal like a dolphin encounter with trained animals!
Was so surprised that this park with a swimming area has no swimming areas. Yes there is water (brackish with more fresh than salt water) but it is only 3-4 feet deep at its deepest. As a grown man, I was able to walk for a long time and the water never got as high as my swim trunks. I had to sit in the water to get wet. Yes people had fun looking for crabs, and we saw dolphins way out in the water, and there were some trees for some shade. But it was still, a little smelly, no waves, no salt air, no depth and tons of kids under 8 years. We thought it would be water and swimming north of Clearwater Beach, but it was more like a Kiddie pool.
This park was awesome. The beach was nice and clean. It wasn’t too crowded. There were nice picnic shelters and a cool restaurant/snack bar. The showers and changing area were convenient. We had fun on the beach volleyball court and playground. I highly recommend it!
